Beware of the devil's hour. In folklore, the witching hour or devil's hour is a time of night filled with supernatural events. Creatures such as witches, demons, and the undead are thought to appear and to be at their most potent. Black magic is believed to be most effective at this time.

Excerpt from Nikola Tesla and his Other World

Tesla also sought out the New York Standard Watch Company to produce a unique timepiece by fusing together a pocket watch with a wristwatch. The pocket watch would be used for signaling the actual time, and the smaller watch would serve as a timing device for remote precision. Nikola then modified the watch by attaching two small vacuum tubes and a small radio-control switch to the outer casing of the larger face. The unusual-looking watch could be worn with an attached wristband. The timepiece was able to remotely signal the circuit board, turning the power on or off in the test room by sending a radio signal to the generator. There was also a metal key, which was used to set the time and turn the vacuum tubes on. Nikola kept the small key attached to a string tied around his journal when not in use and allowed no one to use the watch.
